We are the Juhl-Johansen Zölde-Fejér family – Juliánna, Morten and Matthias and Izabel.
Juliánna is of Transylvanian Hungarian/Székely blood, Morten is the nth-generation Dane and Matthias and Izabel are a magnificent hybrid of the two, a product of great love and the best of the many worlds we come from. We met and married in Denmark, on September 22nd, 2007. Matthias arrived on June 28th, 2008, in Odense Denmark, whereas Izabel was born on December 8th 2010 in Brooklyn, NY.
Until recently, the family had another fellow passenger through the epic adventure of this clan’s history: Pushkin, the kind, crazy and cuddly canine.
What we have is love – besides each other, love of literature, paintings, music, movies, ice cream, fruit with or without yoghurt, trips to explore nature and culture, strange cultures and languages. The list goes on.
We have little in common and yet are often very much alike. Most of the time it feels like nature chose to bring us together – we were married before our wedding, we belonged to each other before we could.
With Sting in the background:
Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I could win you
Or if I could make you mine
Or if I could make you mine
The wind it was so insistent
With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
Came a dryness in my mouth
Came a dryness in my mouth
For then without rhyme of reason
The two birds did rise up to fly
And were the two birds were flying
I swear I saw you and I
I swear I saw you and I
I walked out this morning
It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
In the line where the hills had been married to the sky
And all around me every blade of singing grass
Was calling out your name and that our love would always last
And inside every turning leaf
Is the pattern of an older tree
The shape of our future
The shape of all our history
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Came things I’d never seen
Things I’d never seen
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me
I know it’s true
It’s written in the sky as blue
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
If nature’s red in tooth and claw
Like the winter’s freeze and summer’s thaw
The wounds she gave me
Were the wounds that would heal me
And we’d be like the moon and sun
And when our courtly dance had run
Its course across the sky
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Something new would arrive
Something better would arrive
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me
